Wherever there is an objective, there would be fear associated with it. You hope to get something and you fear that you may not get it. So, if the boss wants to get work done, he threatens the employee. No other engine is possible; only when he is afraid will he work.
Isn’t that humiliating—that you can’t even resign from these jobs because you know that a salary cheque is waiting for you? Every single cell in your body wants to run away, and yet you can’t run away because there is a carrot dangling in front of you.
We forget that it is possible to work beautifully, energetically without having objectives. Let work be celebration. Let work be life. You wake up, and you want to straight away reach out to something. Now work is holy. It is sacred. It is your breath. It is your heartbeat.
